I assembled a Raspberry Pi (version3) plus touch screen awhile a go. I bought a USB GPS on eBay (BU353) and configured it to work. Another python program called 'gpstime.py' was used to set the time from satellite signals. A new 10 amp hour phone charger running at 2.4 amps output runs the assembly well as a portable unit. The BU353 tracked my ride on my Ninebot One E+ continuously with some inherent drift in certain locations. The exported GPX file from 'Foxtrot GPS' was uploaded to a website for conversion to kml which was imported by Google My Maps.

In downtown Salem near the Peabody Essex Museum (OEM) there was a large group listening to the witchcraft history presented by their paid group leader. As I passed them by, riding on the grass to do so, the speaker made note of the fact that I was on a unicycle as opposed to being a ghostly spirit travelling upright over the grass.

I took the long route back to where I live.

Hi Bob, can you please post photos of your commando-Pi rig? Curious what it looks like, what kind of portable display you are using, what case, etc.
